Pneumatic retinopexy
Vision can be recovered from a detached retina using a treatment called pneumatic retinopexy. It frequently happens in an office setting, in contrast to other methods of treating a detached retina. At the back of your eye is a layer of cells called the retina. These cells communicate visual information to your brain using light. […]
Pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS)
The color of your iris comes from pigment. When the pigment slides off the underside of your iris, it causes pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS). The pigment then disperses to various areas of the eye. The microscopic pigment particles may obstruct the drainage angle in your eye. Eye pressure issues may result from this. By producing […]
Pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD)
Pellucid Marginal Degeneration (PMD) is a chronic, slowly progressing condition that causes peripheral corneal thinning. It is crucial to recognise this because it may result in a serious decline in visual function. Additionally, refractive surgery patients with PMD may experience negative outcomes, thus this is something to take into account before having the procedure. Despite […]
Pathological myopia
Being short sighted is different from having pathological myopia. If you have pathological myopia, you are extremely short-sighted and this has led to deteriorating alterations in the back of your eye. Your vision may be affected by pathological myopia, which cannot be treated with glasses or contact lenses. Depending on the degenerative alteration that has […]
Onchocerciasis
An infection called onchocerciasis is brought on by a specific parasite. African river blindness is another name for this disease. It ranks as the second most typical infectious cause of blindness worldwide. Prior to becoming blind, people typically experience symptoms including skin pimples and itching. Onchocerciasis is a parasitic roundworm disease. Only humans can contract […]
Ocular rosacea
Ocular rosacea is inflammation that causes redness, burning and itching of the eyes. It often develops in people who have rosacea, a chronic skin condition that affects the face. Sometimes the first indication that you may later acquire the facial type of rosacea is ocular (eye) rosacea. Most adults with ocular rosacea are between the […]
Macular telangiectasia
A condition known as macular telangiectasia (MacTel) that affects the macula results in loss of central vision. When the tiny blood arteries near the fovea have issues, MacTel develops. For tasks like reading, the fovea in the macula’s center provides the clearest central vision. There are two varieties of MacTel, Type 1 and Type 2, […]
Macular pucker
Macular pucker, also known as epiretinal membrane, develops when your macula develops creases, wrinkles, or bulges. To function effectively, the macula must be flat against the back of your eye. Your central vision is impacted when the macula wrinkles or bulges. Things can appear wavy when you have macular pucker, and you could struggle to […]
Ocular lymphoma
Cellular alterations in some persons may make them more likely to develop eye cancer. One type of cancer that can affect the eye is lymphoma. Primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) is one kind of eye cancer. Both the retina and the vitreous within the eye are capable of developing PIOL. The optic nerve in the back of […]
Lattice degeneration
Lattice degeneration is a thinning of the retina that happens over time. Lattice degeneration affects 1 in 10 people, or about 10% of the population. Clear vision depends on a healthy retina, yet most people with this issue never experience any symptoms or visual loss. Retinal detachment from lattice degeneration is extremely uncommon. Those who […]
